When using the Media Browser in Premiere Pro to view files in a folder that contains many files (100+), the browser keeps jumping back to the beginning after viewing a few of dozen files. I then have to scroll back down to the last place I was and then I can continue a little further before the browser jumps back to the beginning again. The files do not open instantly -- there is a finite time where the message "processing ..." is displayed. I gave up before getting to the end. I doubt that I have an under-resourced computer since it is a i7-3770K with 32GB RAM and a GTX670 card. Is there a limit to the number of files that can be viewed in the Media Browser? Any suggestions?

Thanks

P.S. Just did a search on the problem and I see that it is a well known issue.

The workaround is to let all the thumbs generate before scrolling. (cumbersome, I know)

Even that isn't working reliably. Damn thing just will NOT stop skipping back to the beginning again. This makes the Media Browser useless in Icon view. I've had to change it to List view and use Bridge to see the clips, which rather defeats the purpose of the Media Browser entirely.

I agree Jim. I thought the workaround was working, but when trying to view a large number files in another folder, the browser just kept jumping back to the beginning, no matter how long I waited for all the thumbs to generate.
